Herbert W. Fong 2009-06-26	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach My 3rd stay at the Thara Patong Resort. The property is still an excellent value, with good location and all the facilities of a major resort. I stayed in a Superior room and the room was in decent condition. However, the bathroom tiles can use some strong cleaning of the mold buildup..	No complaints. Exellent service as always!
Carol Leow 2009-06-19	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Very good service. They allowed us to checked in early even without prior notice. The buffet breakfast was good: great variety and the local selections changed daily. Also near to many other shops and eating places. The staff are friendly and welcoming. However, rooms are a bit small if you want to include an extra bed. The balcony is a bonus for that late night drink or simply for tanning. Highly recommanded if you want value for money!
Roy Barber 2009-06-10	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach My wife and I just spent the first few weeks of June at the Thara Patong, and (overall) were thoroughly impressed. We booked into one of the cheapest rooms, anticipating that we wouldn t be in it much so we wouldn t need too swish a room just for the two of us. It was very comfy with a nice balcony overlooking the outdoor, open-air massage parlour, and had all the usual basics - bar-fridge, aircon (thank God - as it was so hot and humid!), TV with some english-speaking channels, nice shower etc. Of special note was the maid-service which was brilliant, with clean sheets and two lots of towels daily so we could take one set onto the beach and yet have a new set when we got back - excellent. Overall we were very happy with the room, say about 7/10, and the service in the hotel was as to be expected, although we were surprised at the ok standard of english for most of the staff (with the exception of reception.) It is very hard and confusing to sort anything out on the phone in Phuket! There were two lovely pools which were always very clean and warm, and each had a nice bar for refreshments and food, although the lack of breeze and the super-warm temperatures meant sunbathing was a sweaty affair! Breakfast was FANTASTIC, and the bars were good, although the restaurants seem to get expensive and not-as-tasty in the evening. We ate out most nights. Overall though, we were VERY happy with the hotel, and the close location to the beach and all the nightlife was absolutely SUPERB (you are right next to all the action, although the hotel is strangely serene and the gates are locked at night so it is safe.) Would we go back? Absolutely. What we would ask for next time though, is one of the rooms higher up - mainly the top (third) floor (high heels sound very loud from the room above!) Otherwise it was a great place and is an awesome location for exploring Patong Beach - which was pleasantly surprising - clean and full of action like jetskis, parascending, bananas, bars etc.	Sawadee was EXCELLENT - and the website was the best I have seen for phuket hotels. Highly recommended and good prices - we would use Sawadee again!!!
Suresh Aggarwal 2009-05-29	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Rooms allotted to us Room No.s 1337,1338,1331,1332 A/C was not working properly but on complaint they kept on trying to fix the problem to no avail. The staff kept on trying to tell us that the A/C are working OK. But when we said we are going to check out we were offered room no 1114,1116,1117,1118 which were good. Rest everything was perfect but they need to tell their staff to take customer complaints seriously rather than to try convincing customer forcefully.
Noel Davis 2009-04-26	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach My wife and i have no complaints about our stay at this resort. The gardens and pools are great, and the outdoor massage i had was very professional. The quality and range of breakfast foods was first class. Our room was older but very well cleaned every day. We have stayed at several hotels and resorts in Thailand, and believe that for the money, this was an experience to be had again.	Booked on the net, and had no problems.

Swiss Family 2009-04-25	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Very nice clean hotel, close to vibrant night life and beach, very friendly staff, clean rooms with good beds. We have got a free upgrade to the next higher room category. Good for families as the pool is nice. Good facilities with fitness center and always enough chairs at the pool (although don t know if this is case in high season). Would go there again.	perfect
Roland Connedal 2009-04-21	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Verry good hotel.Clean room.2 Big pols. And happy houers 5p.m to 7p.m.	Verry good as usualy.
Ronnie Van Veen 2009-04-18	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach We had a wonderful time at the Thara Resort. We had a pool access room which meant the we could walk out the door and jump straight into the pool. Lovely. The only issue I had with this was the balcony/sitting area was small as we had a corner room. But that was the only issue. The bathrooms were a little tired and the drain in the shower was slow in removing waste water. The location of the resort allowed us easy access to the hustle and bustle of the main road in Patong but far enough away to not be disturbured by the noise. All shopping and restaurants were within easy walking distance. The breakfasts were very good with a great selection of foods on offer ranging from fruits and cereals to cooked Aussie full breakfasts but no vegimite :-(.	Booking on line was a breeze. Everything was as we booked and checkin/out went very smoothly. I would do that again when teh time comes to book a holiday.
Riku Kulovesi 2009-04-10	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach overall good hotel with nice stuff. Rooms are clean and pools are fabulous. Very relaxing place to stay and near Bangla road etc. Next Phuket visit I use this hotel again. Small minus is WiFi which hotel charge ridiculous 200thb/30min and no free internet even in lobby.	good and hassle free booking
SUDHIR SHARMA 2009-03-26	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach The hotel provided true value for money. I along with my family enjoyed our stay at Thara Patong	Prompt ,efficient and professional
Rooke 2009-03-02	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa was absolutely fantastic! A great location, close enough to the hussle and bustle, but a little bit further away from the noise. We had such a great time at the resort, all the facilities lived up to our expectations and the staff were great - both friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Special thanks to Ran and Tim at the pool bar, as well as the breakfast girls and the day spa ladies - total bliss! We will certainly head back to Thailand, and will definately stay again at Thara Patong Beach REsort and Spa. Thanks again.	Great service, speedy confirmation and no hassles. Very easy to deal with.
Carrara Angelo 2009-02-20	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Well-kept and well located, very good voting!

Party of John Robert Pegram 2008-10-31	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Second time around and just the same brilliant service and accommodation. For anyone going to Phuket, book this hotel.	First class service always willing to help and advise.
Maurice Mevissen 2008-10-29	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Great value for money. Nice pools and suitable for all ages. Kids loved the paddling pool. Close to the beach and Patong party district.	excellent
SHILOH DAVIES 2008-10-28	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach This is the 2nd time i ve stayed here. This time i stayed in the standard room as last time i had a room with pool access. Everything is great with this hotel but we had some minor problems with the toilet as we had to fill it up our self to flush it each time. Breakfast is great. Pool is awsome. But keep in mind that if you want to bring back a friend you picked up at a club or bar, they will charge you 1000thb. this was the only bad part as they dont tell or say anything about this in the hotel until you show up with you friend . Staff are friendly.	Very easy.
Mr John Robert Pegram 2008-10-21	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach An absolutely excellent hotel where the accommodation is first class especially cleanliness and the staff extremely friendly and helpful at all times. I would 100% recommend this Hotel which is close to the main high street but only a couple of minutes away from the beach.	No issues with the booking service, in fact they put themselves out to answer all questions within a few hours. Would book through them again.
Jenny Fung 2008-10-17	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach I went to puhket twice and I also stay in Thara Patong. Because I love their swimming pool & nice staff. The location is very very good, very convenient. Fist time I choose the Superior Room but I feel the room is very old. This time I choose the Deluxe Room, this room so good and better than the Superior Room. It feel clean & comfortable. So I highly recommend choose the Deluxe Room.	Very good and convenient. The price is cheaper than the other travel agents.
Karin Nordstrom 2008-10-08	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Is it a wonderful place to stay. You won´t regret it. We been here 4 times and will go back again	absolutely perfect
Koay Tze Ling 2008-10-04	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Excellent location: near to the beach, food, drink and shopping. The room is comfortable. There is a construction work nearby that cause a bit of noise during day time. Anyway, it did not affect our holiday mood as we were out for Phi Phi Island or sightseeing during day times. The hotel offers nice swimming pool with Jacuzzi for relaxation after a long day tour. The breakfast buffet is tasty with good food selection. Most importantly, it is definitely value for money! It is highly recommended to everyone especially for first visit to Phuket. Rating: 80 out of 100.	No problem and they are very responsive.
Abu Bakar 2008-10-03	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Rude staffs at check in. The Tv not working and alot of mosquitoes in the room. Asked house keeping to fix these problems but they ignored my request. This not a kind of place I would recommend to my friends.	My reservation was done to my satisfaction.
Isabelle Ruth Gaboc 2008-09-22	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach This was a fantastic hotel meeting and exceeding our expectations. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pools were beautiful and relaxing. Had such a wonderful time!	This was very fast and efficient. The response for the booking was within an hour. As this was a last minute booking, our requests were not expected to be answered straight away. When going Thailand, we will be using this website again! Very impressed!
Nina Tytsik 2008-09-20	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach excellent! cant be better. the room is nice and clean, the staff is helpful, everywhere it is nice thai people satisfying your every wish and desire. do not hesitate to stay in this hotel. it is excellent for singles and families.	efficient. i was givent his hotel by the choice of sawadee, since my choices were all booked. and i do not regret having agreed

Kelly Durant 2008-09-09	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach This hotel and staff were great. Great location in Patong. Pools were clean and staff were happy to help with anything. Recomment this hotel to anyone.
Rahul Prasad 2008-09-09	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Great service close to everything great value for money nice pools.	great deals very helpfull
Michael De Silva 2008-08-28	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach We stayed at the Thara Patong for four days before heading off to the islands for 3 weeks. Prior to doing this though, we didnt think twice about making a further reservation for four more nights before heading home. It was that good we didnt even bother to look elsewhere.Everything was there that made our stay most enjoyable so I would have no hesitations in recommending this hotel to anyone that wants to feel special . Hotel was quiet,rooms were spacious & clean,staff where always welcoming,pool was lovely,great location with all the ammeneties..........need I say more!! trust me....... I will be staying there again.	Highy recommended
M.deGuzman 2008-08-26	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach We stayed for five nights in a deluxe room. It was extremely dark in the room provided to us I had to remove the shades of the lighting. The bathroom was even darker and not very clean. The floor was dirty and felt sticky. I had to wipe around the bed so my feet didn t turn black. The hallways on the bottom floor towards the breakfast dining room is very dark and not well lit. The blinds are so dirty and dusty. TV is very old and didn t have a lot of channels. The internet service was expensive and when we did buy time, the server wasn t working. Internet should be free. It was noisy during the day as a construction was ongoing beside the hotel right outside our room. This is not a 4-star hotel it s more like a 2-star hotel if that. This hotel needs a major renovation, the A/C is loud. Housekeeping is not very good. The only good thing was that it s close to the beach and all the amenities. The buffet breakfast was very good. I would not stay here again.	Sawadee was very helpful with all my questions. Thank you.
Claes Ewards / Michael Bolander 2008-08-22	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Very nice place we enjoyed every day, we stayed from 13 Aug to the 23 not so many tourists so it was easier to get around, the staff was very helpful and we changed rooms to the second floor - much better to have a balcony, breakfast good with many choices nice and clean rooms, lovely swimming pools _ half the units were under renovations but it did not really cause any problems - would definately stay here again - very short walk to the beach.	Second time I have used sawadee--- to book my stay in Thailand ) very good service , and easy to use Great website!
Bing Xue 2008-07-25 until 2008-07-26	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach this hotel is my last night stay in phuket, my room was upgrade to pool access room due to we booked room is under fix, that is wanderful room, big and have the mini CD player inside, peopler therr is nice,it is dioppint that we cannot tast the breakfast coz we need catch the plane on the 2nd date morning,i am so enjoy my time there.
Christopher Bott 2008-07-23 until 2008-07-27	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach When we first arrived at the hotel we were very happy. The room was clean and the pool is great especially for kids. The service was also really good and we were satisfied with the breakfast. The restaurant was a little over-priced but it was still good. On checking out we asked if we could extend. We were advised that they could only accomadate us for one night and at that it would cost double for the same room as they were not able to give us the same rate as we payed on Sawadee. This was understandable but we found that the staff were not very helpful. We managed to find a hotel in an even better location and also at a much cheaper rate. The pool was not as nice but we were more than happy with our new hotel. To sum things up The Thara Patong is a really nice hotel.	I have to say there were no issues with booking it was easy peasy but I will say make sure you book all the nights you want as the price will more than double if you want to extend with the hotel.
AHMED SALEH JASIM MATHKOOR 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-24	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach I have stayed in this hotel 6 nights 7 days I found it the most niceness Hotel in Phuket, all the people who work in this hotel were very nice with me and my family and I am looking forward to visit Phuket next time and stay in the same Hotel. They have very nice wide comfortable rooms and very beautiful summing poll. The only things I did not like were there was no water tap for the WC in their Toilets and because we are Moslems we need this kind of facilities available in all Hotels of the beautiful Kingdom of Thailand. Also the Wateriests who work in the morning breakfast Restaurant they do not have the welcome smile they were always have frowning Faces I do not no why. Although still this Hotel is one of the best Hotels not only in Phuket but in all Kingdom of Thailand. Thank you very much for your High standard of Hospitality and hope we can visit you next time .. Bye Bye for now and have a nice day.	They are professionals thank you very much.
Gideon Goell & Ofer Goell 2008-07-18 until 2008-07-21	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach We had great time at the hotel. The room was very nice the service great , the pools were clean and breakfest was very good. The location of the hotel is BEST	Very good - Thanks !!
faisal hamed faleh alabdulla 2008-07-06 until 2008-07-14	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Excellent Hotel with very good services. The Hotel location is wonderful and the rooms pricing are very reasonable. We realy enjoyed our holidays there and next time im going to visit Thailand again im gonna do my hotel bookings with the same hotel.	booking through Sawadee.Com is perfect.
Emil Peleg 2008-07-03 until 2008-07-07	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Very good hotel. The service is above and beyond, the staff is very friendly,professional and helpful. We didn t feel that a part of the hotel is under renovation.	Excellent.
Barbara Sinclair 2008-06-30 until 2008-07-03	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Thara Patong was our first stop in Thailand. Our rooms were OK but of a lower standard to what was shown on internet. Perhaps because there was renovation work underway on other wings, we were @ the very back of the building and there was a constant unpleasant odour outside the door. The rooms were also very dark, with poor lighting. A/c was OK, and rooms clean. The pools were lovely and most staff always smiling and willing to help. The outdoor massage area was a real treat. Breakfast was excellent. Check IN was good, but slow, particularly since it was after midnight.	very efficient and easy. Easiest internet booking sight we found for Thailand.
Jia Chi 2008-06-28 until 2008-07-02	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Very good price with value. We stayed 4 days only pay 3! Breakfast is exciting. Will recommand this hotel and sure will stay again.	fast and effecient. thx
Sohail Haroon Khanani 2008-06-26 until 2008-06-29	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach The hotel is good according to the value of money because in this rate this hotel is best if u need more god hotel then u have to choose other hotel but have to paid almost doubble.	Swadee is a great and from last 3 years me and my frd is using to this web service ofr hotel booking in thailand and we never get any complian.
Zara Wong Pow Choo 2008-06-24 until 2008-06-28	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Nice and cosy hotel, tasty breakfast with variety of choices to choose from,i was sceptical although there are many good comments on this resort when i booked through sawadee.com, but i was delighted when we reached there early in the morning, we did not regret staying in this resort. We got a ground floor room with king size bed and with glass door open directly to the pool area, my 2 yr old was so elated when he saw the children pool and we end up spending most of our time there by the pool. Will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended for family with children.	Reliable, no fuss and fast responce
Herbert Fong 2008-06-22 until 2008-07-04	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Enjoyed my 2nd stay at this hotel. Very good value and promotion makes this hotel a good option. Hotel itself is an excellent resort property with all facilities and very good location, close to beach and nighttime action..	Excellent Service!

Sari Irene Eloranta 2008-05-20 until 2008-05-28	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Great and very big Resort with spa, pool bars and restaurants. We had the cheepest room which was not so fancy but ok and had everything we needed with balcony. Every balconies on the hotel are to the pool :) The Rates in high season might be too much for those rooms but now 30 euros per night was ok! Allthough we had a mouse in our room one night but we chanced the room :) The Italian restaurant has very tastefull pizza and pastas and Breakfast buffet was perfect! Two big pool areas are pleasant for adults and kids! Enough of sun beds also. The internet is also in the lobby for 100 thb/30 min. The hotel is on a very good place! Everything is close: Beach, restaurants, shopping places, night clubs etc. Highly recommended for low season!	Excellent!
Dell Lear 2008-05-19 until 2008-05-28	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach We had a great holiday,and the hotel was the best,staff,and service top rate ,rooms very nice,will be staying there again when we come back next year.Hotel location close to everything ,the only suggestion would be that the aircon filters needed cleaning ,came home with severe sinisitis	booking service first rate ,no problems.
Morten Pedersen 2008-05-05 until 2008-05-09	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach This is a very good hotel with nice rooms, fine breakfast, two swimmingpools, poolbars and glose to the beach. I will be back.	Nice and easy
Lee Varley 2008-05-02 until 2008-05-12	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach We had a fantastic stay, it was my first trip to Thailand and I m now a convert! Thara Resort is a great place to stay, as good or better facilities/rooms/service as the Patong Merlin according to my partner. We needed to change rooms on arrival as my partner is in a wheelchair and the bathroom was not suitable, this was happliy facilitated by the friendly staff. We had a Deluxe room and found it was more than adequate for our needs with a balcony over the pool and a Kingsized bed (the airconditioner was great!). We originally booked this hotel because it advertised the fact that they catered for disabled people and the great price (pay 7 stay 10)and I would highly recommend it for anyone who uses a wheelchair for mobility, there is a lift to the upper floors in the new wing and ramps throughout the grounds making access to pools, bars etc really easy. I would also recommend for anyone wanting a relaxed, quality and value for money stay in the heart of Patong Beach (kids and adults alike will love the pool areas). The shopping starts just out the Beach Road entrance and its only a short walk to the famous Bangla Road but once inside the hotel its was quiet and you wouldn t know the busyness happening right on your doorstep. Breakfast was always of a good standard and Firday nights banquet at the Tatawan restaurant is great... All the seafood you can eat (giant oysters, prawns, bugs, crab.....)We did happy-hour every nigt...Drinks @ half price for 2 hours! I will most definately return for another great stay.	My first time booking online. Great service with prompt replies and friendly communications. Thankyou!
Quah hock seng 2008-04-24 until 2008-04-28	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach We Stay 4 night at Deluxe room,the room are clean and neat,the location of resort are convenient just 2 minutes to beach and near bangla road,but the reception staff are not friendly and helpful.I will come back to patong but will try other resort.	very good and fast.
Anoop Suri 2008-04-24 until 2008-04-27	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Excellent Property, Excellent Location, Very good restaurants, Breakfast is Fabulous as we enjoy Thai Food we enjoyed it a Lot. (But saw some other Indian Tourists facing problems- Hotel can arrange for some Indian Veg item on the menu). Hotel Managment was very helpful upgraded us to deluxe as lot of Honey bees entered our Bathroom of superior room with excellent and fast response. The open air spa hut in between two pools is a Great attraction and my wife enjoyed the Massage there. Would recommend this hotel to every one specially families with Kids. as the Swimming pool is really good.	Excellent, Very Good and fast response to queries. will always book my Thailand Hotels with www.saloni.in
Anoop Suri 2008-04-24 until 2008-04-27	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Excellent Hotel, Excllent Location and would go again and again there. Very Family Friendly , Good managment.	Excellent , would book my hotels in thailand always with saloni.in
